Magazines

Magazines are another excellent source of current news as they are frequently published and often target specific interests or industries. You can read the paper version of major business magazines in the Center.  The titles include:

Trade magazines can be one of your best sources for information.  These are magazines that are published for people interested in a specific industry.  Because these magazines have limited audiences, they can be difficult and/or expensive to come by.  A couple of the Center’s databases provide researchers the ability to search online and read articles from trade publications. 

Investment Newsletters

As well as keeping up with changes in the business arena and the economy, investors seek advice as to which stocks should be bought and sold.  The Center is a place to come to read a variety of investor newsletters including:

  • Dick Davis Digest
  • Granville Market Letter
  • Hulbert Financial
  • Kiplinger Letter
